I used to enjoy Cityblock because (a) the ice/force floor room in the SW offered some welcome variety (and made me go, "Yay, more blocks that are closer to the end goal!"), and (B) the sokoban at the end, while frustrating due to its placement in the level, was one of those concepts with which I was obsessed as a kid.

Those are interesting facts J.B. but I just love how the "b" turned cool

I honestly like the sokoban concept at the end as well, however, being that it is at the end of a really long block pushing level makes me dislike it a lot. It wouldn't be so bad or have so much hatred if it were at least in the beginning of the level

All the levels I ever designed on paper (probably only 3) involved elements that didn't even exist in CC, i.e. maps that were bigger than 32x32, teleports that were wired to each other, and thieves that stole keys

I'm impressed! I mean that you designed that many levels (and on paper no less!), not that you lost them.

This is probably why I have over 400+ levels available on the Internet

Well, how can you say that Spirals is fun and enjoyable, corrupted or not - if you haven't even played the corrupted version? (The corrupted version = the hard version, right?) I only knew of the hard version, and that was very frustrating I can tell you. We (my siblings and I) thought it was possible to finish it, obviously, since it was in the set, (and we were quite close actually). As I said, very frustrating. (I know now that it IS possible, if you're like Pieguy or someone :S )

I made an entire notebook of Chip's Challenge levels that I played with my finger and acted like the monsters and blocks moved too.

That's awesome! Wish I'd been that creative and resourceful as a kid, at the peak of my CC obsession.

Haha, word. I doubt anyone would seriously consider the corrupted version to be "fun and enjoyable."

I was only saying I liked the level. I don't have to play the corrupted version to determine my liking of the level. I still think Spirals is fun and enjoyable, regardless if it's corrupted or not.

If I haven't made my point clear there, then I don't know what else to tell you. I just like the level.

That's fair enough if you like the level; I think Ida's point is just that the corrupted version is so much more difficult that it might as well qualify as a wholly different level-playing experience. It wouldn't be inconceivable for someone to enjoy the original version while detesting the corrupted version.

Color Wheel is fun, except for the tank part at the end. Spirals "corrupted" was the original version -- it's just so hard in MS that Microsoft got a clue and made it easier in the "best of" series. In Lynx it's a fun level either way.

I have WEP4 (as well as 1, 2, and 3) but it's not the corrupted version... Maybe they caught it fairly early after the release and fixed it for later versions of the WEPs?
